This is a user guide for vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1
The VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 User's Guide provides instructions for installing and using the software to migrate physical machines and virtual machines into VMware virtual machine formats. It is intended for information systems engineers, software developers, QA engineers, trainers, salespeople, and anyone looking to create or manage virtual environments.
The book is written for information systems engineers, software developers, QA engineers, trainers, salespeople who run demonstrations, and anyone who wants to create virtual machines.
The software allows converting physical and virtual machines to different VMware product formats, moving virtual machines across platforms, importing/exporting appliances, creating VMs from VCB images, reducing setup time, migrating legacy servers without reinstalling OS, performing migrations across heterogeneous hardware, readjusting volume sizes, and viewing audit trails.
The application consists of a client, a server, and an agent. The client can run on a separate machine, while the server and agent must always run on the same machine.
